You will be wondering what stainless steel plate is doing in my craft work? Let me explain it to you,the stainless steel plate save as mould, with the stainless steel plate I was able to get the shape of the plastic plate, it makes the works easier for me.

Let's check out the steps which I used to accomplish this tasks

STEP 1

In the first step, I gather all my plastic caps and put them in a dry pot, heat it in gas until the plastic caps are completely dissolved.

STEP 2

. While the plastic caps were on fire, I used the vegetable oil and I apply it all over the stainless steel plate. In this aspect, you will need to stainless steel plate. In one of the plate the oil should be all over the inside of the plate then the other of the plate, the oil should be apply at the back of the plate.

After applying the oil you keep it aside

STEP 3

In step 3, by this time the plastic caps has melted all and it becomes watering. From this stage you are to bring the pot down, pour the liquid plastic to one of the stainless steel plate the oil was apply inside.

Just as seen below.

STEP 4

After pouring the liquid inside the plate, you wait for like a minute for the substance to become sticky a little bit, use the other plate, the back side and press it but by bit.
Don't press it with force, just bit by bit so that you can have a shape of a plate.

After achieving this, allow it to cook off completely, if you try to remove it when it is not cool, it will scatter. So allow it to cool, with the oil you apply, it will make your work looks neat

While it was still soft, use the knife and trim off the edges so that the plate will look clean.

Finally, after when it has cool, you can now remove the first plate without stress.

After removing the first plate, you now pull off the moulded plate. At this point, your plate is ready.

So check out my plate and tell me if I try or not.
Though this is my first attempt.

So from today I won't be trashing my plastic caps.
